1957 Carmen Basilo Presentation Lighter in Original Box

1957 Carmen Basilo Presentation Lighter in Original Box

This is an incredible souvenir lighter from the 1950s saluting multi-champion Carmen Basilio. Issued after his victory over Sugar Ray Robinson in 1957 when he won the middleweight crown, this never-used lighter still resides in its original box. The front shows the face of Baslio, and the verso is emblazoned: "BEST WISHES" from the Welterweight and Middleweight Champion of the World. Very scarce and rarer still in this fine, unused condition.
